Slurs in A

Slurs in GE (→FE→EE)

AI and A present here two distinctly different concepts of slurring. Slurs in AI show short, hemiola-like motifs; the beginning of the slur in bar 17 admits two interpretations. In A (→GE→FE→EE) Chopin continues two-bar slurs embracing a repeated rhythmic pattern. In bar 20 GE (→FE→EE) mistakenly brings the slur only to the 2nd quaver.
